In this episode, Dr Chandrika discusses with host Sowjanya and takes listeners through the crucial treatment of PCOS in young women.
Treatment for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) typically begins with lifestyle modifications and targeted medical interventions. Initially, doctors often recommend adopting a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate hormonal imbalances. Oral contraceptives may be prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles and manage androgen levels. For those trying to conceive, fertility medications or procedures may be recommended. Additionally, medications like Metformin can help regulate insulin levels. In severe cases, surgery may be considered to address cysts. Treatment plans are individualized, aiming to alleviate symptoms and mitigate long-term health risks associated with PCOS. Regular monitoring and adjustments are common.

In this episode, Dr Chandrika discusses with host Sowjanya if PCOS can cause breathing problems and liver issues ？
PCOS primarily affects the reproductive system, but it can also have systemic effects. While it's not a direct cause of breathing problems or liver issues, some women with severe PCOS may experience obesity, which can lead to respiratory difficulties. Additionally, PCOS is associated with metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance, which can impact liver function. Elevated insulin levels may lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in some cases. It's crucial for individuals with PCOS to adopt a holistic approach to health, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and routine medical check-ups, to mitigate potential risks.

In this episode, Dr Chandrika discusses with host Sowjanya if heart attack in women is commonly linked to being diagnosed with PCOS.
While PCOS primarily affects the reproductive system, it can also have broader health implications, including an increased risk of heart disease. Women with PCOS are more prone to insulin resistance, obesity, and high blood pressure, all of which are risk factors for heart attacks. Additionally, hormonal imbalances in PCOS, particularly elevated androgen levels, may contribute to cardiovascular issues. Therefore, it's crucial for women with PCOS to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and routine medical check-ups, to mitigate these risks and ensure long-term cardiovascular health.

In this episode of the Hello Doctor Podcast, Dr Chandrika discusses with host Sowjanya the common link between PCOS and pregnancy in young women.
PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a hormonal disorder that can impact pregnancy, particularly in young women. It often leads to irregular menstrual cycles, making it challenging to predict ovulation. Elevated levels of insulin and androgens can further complicate reproductive health. Young women with PCOS may face difficulties in conceiving, which can be emotionally distressing. However, with proper medical management, lifestyle adjustments, and fertility treatments, many women can overcome these challenges and have successful pregnancies. Early diagnosis and proactive healthcare are essential for young women with PCOS who hope to start a family.

In this episode, host Sowjanya asks Dr Chandrika a very crucial question that is important to discuss - is PCOS linked to fertility issues?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is often linked to fertility challenges. Irregular ovulation or anovulation can make it harder for women to conceive. Elevated levels of insulin and androgens, hormones associated with PCOS, can disrupt the reproductive process. Additionally, the condition may lead to the development of ovarian cysts, further affecting fertility. However, with appropriate medical intervention, lifestyle adjustments, and fertility treatments, many women with PCOS can successfully conceive and carry pregnancies to term. Seeking early medical advice and support is crucial for women with PCOS desiring to start a family.

In this episode of the Hello Doctor podcast, host Sowjanya asks Dr Chandrika a vital question that needs to be discussed - the importance of the pituitary gland in women.
The pituitary gland, often dubbed the "master gland," plays a pivotal role in regulating various hormonal functions crucial to women's health. Located at the base of the brain, it secretes hormones that control the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and fertility. Additionally, it influences the production of breast milk during pregnancy and after childbirth. The pituitary gland also governs other glands in the endocrine system, ensuring the harmonious functioning of hormones vital for overall well-being. Any disruptions in the pituitary's function can lead to hormonal imbalances, affecting reproductive health, metabolism, and various other physiological processes in women.

In this episode, Dr Chandrika discusses with host Sowjanya the symptoms that patients need to be aware of to diagnose Cervical cancer and who can avail the vaccine for it.
The cervical cancer vaccine, commonly known as the HPV vaccine, is recommended for both males and females. It is typically administered in early adolescence, ideally before any sexual activity begins, to provide the best protection against the human papillomavirus (HPV), the primary cause of cervical cancer. The vaccine is most effective when given before exposure to the virus. However, it can still be beneficial for those who have been sexually active or have had an HPV infection, as it protects against several other cancer-causing strains of the virus. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential for personalized vaccination recommendations.
